Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey announce funding for free Bitcoin education program



As the cryptocurrency market expands, it creates opportunities for people all around the world to create, innovate, earn, and thrive. However, there is still a large education gap in the industry, especially for marginalized communities, which two well-known crypto enthusiasts are trying to decrease.

Specifically, Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) co-founder and its former CEO Jack Dorsey and rapper Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z, have joined forces to fund The Bitcoin Academy, a program for residents of Marcy Houses – a public housing complex in Brooklyn, New York, where Jay-Z grew up, Dorsey announced in a tweet on June 9.

The program was designed in collaboration with Crypto Blockchain Plug and Black Bitcoin Billionaire and “aims to provide education, empower the community with knowledge, and get rid of some of the barriers so that residents can learn more about Bitcoin specifically and finance in general” The Bitcoin Academy website states.

Online and in-person crypto education

According to the website, the program is planned to expand further outside the focus neighborhood. For now, it will offer online and in-person classes between June 22 and September 7 for all Marcy Houses residents.

You may have seen a teases regarding our plan to send Bitcoin “To the Moon!” as they say… Well we’re happy to share with you that Hudge Global recently conducted the first ever Peer2Peer Transaction in space! A few weeks ago we went to the Sweden to send a 3D model of a Bitcoin with a paper wallet fixed on the back all the way into space with the help of a weather balloon. When it reached an altitude of 20 kilometers (what’s known as the Armstrong limit) we sent the first ever Bitcoin into space. Since we believe in reaching new heights at Hudge Global we didn’t stop there. When the Bitcoin made it to 34 kilometers our space partners let us know that it was at peak altitude so we sent another Bitcoin, beating our initial record on the same flight!
